2 Valuable: Why Attack Christians in Nigeria?

Why Attack Christians in Nigeria?

Let me get this straight. Some cartoonist in Denmark draws a few Muhammed cartoons.

Denmark is part of a (very proud) post-Christian Europe.

So Muslims in Nigeria attack and kill at least 15 Christians.

Nigerian Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches on Saturday, killing at least 15 people in the deadliest confrontation yet in the whirlwind of Muslim anger over the drawings.

It was the first major protest to erupt over the issue in Africa's most populous nation. An Associated Press reporter saw mobs of Muslim protesters swarm through the city center with machetes, sticks and iron rods. One group threw a tire around a man, poured gas on him and set him ablaze.

How does a post-Christian Denmark tie in with Nigerian Christians? By and large, Europe detests Christianity. How is this suddenly a "Christian" problem? I didn't realize Nigerian Christians so strongly influenced the thinking of atheist Danish cartoonists, that it was now appropriate to go in and murder Christians.

About 2 Valuable

Welcome

Welcome to 2 Valuable. My name is Jay, and as you may have guessed by the title, this blog is primarily about and in defense of the 2nd Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I am also a history geek, motorcyclist, writer, and interested in just about everything, so I will comment off-topic a lot.

About Me (Readers Digest Version)

I am a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan, even if it is a cesspool of rotten socialist thinking. It's my alma mater (that means "other mother" in Latin), so don't go makin' fun of Momma... especially if you are from Ohio State.

That reminds me: any favorable comments about Ohio State University or their Buckeye teams left on a post will be printed off on paper, burned, then immediately deleted from the computer system. However, members of the Buckeye Firearms Association (even OSU alumni) get a free pass - you guys do good work for the 2A.

All of my formal education took place in the publik skuul sistim, but in spite of that, I learned how to write and think.

I strongly believe in the self-defense rights re-affirmed by the Founding Fathers' in the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment doesn't grant us any right - it simply codifies a pre-existing God-given right (as do the other nine amendments in our Bill of Rights).

The Disclaimer Stuff:

I try very hard to give credit to all non-original material. There are rare cases where I do not know who to credit, and I apologize.

Any person mentioned in relation to a crime is not guilty until and unless they are found guilty in a court of law, regardless of what the court of public opinion decides.

My opinions are simply that: my opinions. They do not necessarily represent any other organization or person promoted on this blog. These opinions may not be popular with some, but they are protected by the First Amendment.
